“This is the first time I have used Rover, with absolutely no complaints. Todd was excellent with Luna, and I feel she was well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to board Luna with Todd again.”

“Rowan was great with our dog. We’ve used quite a few people on Rover for care over the last few years, and he is by far the best we’ve used. He sent frequent updates and pictures, and he is great with communication. I highly recommend him!”

“Carol is very sweet and did a great job with our puppy (kody). He gets lots of playtime and was very well taken care of. Kody became best friends with her dog Jax. She sent lots of pics and kept us updated. We will definitely use her again!”

“Bobby and Sandra kept my mind at ease for the complete time they had my dog. They treated him as there own and provided him with an excellent stay. I never imagined I could feel as comfortable leaving my dog with someone but they exceeded all my expectations. They are wonderful people and I would recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”

Jeremy C.

“I boarded my two dogs with Allison in her home: one is a 16 year old chihuahua with a prolapsed trachea and one is a 4 yr old cattle dog who warms up slowly. Allison is amazing. She sent updates and photos, which showed my dogs comfortable and warming to her. I tried boarding at a facility and didn’t like the idea of them in kennels most of every day; I absolutely recommend this alternative and especially Allison. I will definitely seek her services in the future and I feel like my dogs actually made a new friend. They were happy and relaxed when they came back to me. 100 percent happy with and highly recommend her services.”

“Sunny Boy really enjoyed his time with Lori- he wasn't sure he wanted to come home. I would highly recommend Lori. Sunny will probably be there again.”

Laurie D.

“Excellent job all the way around. A true pet person!”

“Danielle did a great job with my two cats. She was prompt and easy to communicate with, and sent me lots of pictures of the cats. The cats were relaxed and happy when I returned, and their area was kept clean. I would definitely recommend Danielle and I plan to use her again for my next trip.”

About: I have taken care of cats for many years now, I have two cats myself. Im always happy to go out of my way to make sure they are happy and comfy. I have experience with skiddish/snappy cats, I know specific body language in cats. I have experience giving oral medication to cats and able to tend to your cat’s specific needs. I look forward to taking care of your cat in the future!

About: I enjoy caring for and being present with dogs. I am empathetic and always in tune with what others are feeling and need. I would love to hang out with your dogs! I have been around animals my entire life and find myself growing more drawn to caring for them every day. Currently, I do not have a dog of my own so I feel that taking care of your dogs would bring so much joy and fulfillment to my life. I enjoy all types of dogs and personalities and would enjoy getting to know your dogs! I feel others would describe me as patient, balanced, and responsible. Whether I'm just watching your dogs for the day or for an extended period of time you will be able to rest easily because they will be in warm, loving care.

About: I have owned dogs all my life and specialised in loving rescue dogs for the last 17 years. Teaching them through love is my focus. I have now retired from working a regular job and now my time is to care for and spend the day with mans best friend I have a large fenced yard with lots of shade and trees for play time or just hanging out. Small pens available upon request or bring your own kennel.

“Lori takes great care of Molly at our home and in hers.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, have trained and raised a 12 year old german shepherd to protect my family and currently have two cats :) I work from home most times so I have plenty of time to be with my two cats that I adore caring for c: . I have two cats named pickles and pepper, theyre the bestest ever and they are well taken care of in my home by my three other roommates! When I’ve pet sit for friends, I always try to let the dog or cat choose everything it wants to do, it’s easy after a while to read a pet’s body language and make sure they are comfortable c:

About: After 5 years of providing care thru Rover, it is time for a little Update: I grew up on a small farm, i.e. horses, dogs, cats, goats, a few cows for the fair. Now that I am all grown up and I don't have my family's farm to play around on... I love spending my spare time with animals. I think being a Rover Friend / Sitter is a great way for me to devote time and attention to a pet who otherwise might feel afraid or not do well with a cold boarding situation. I enjoy making your pet feel loved, and welcome. It is important to me that they do not stress or worry in your absence. Plus- it gives me great practice for being a Momma some day. Just like babies, dogs and cats cannot always tell us how they are feeling or what is wrong, lol. [A lot of my "clients" ask, "what do you do for a living that allows you the freedom to still be so involved with Rover?" I am blessed to be a Real Estate Agent, my main office is in Branson, MO (*about 35 min from my home). I am a business owner as well as a REALTOR®️, which means- that if I need to stay home and love on a pet all day on a Tuesday, by golly, I sure can do exactly that. I am blessed with a flexible schedule! I don't mind taking pets to walk at safe parks, if you request. I am flexible, and want to do whatever makes you and your pet feel most at ease during their visit with me. At the moment, I have an unfenced yard, which hopefully is fenced in very soon (May 2025). Therefore, I do not plan on allowing your pet to free roam, during walks or potty times. We will practice loose and long leashing, which does not make them feel like they are on a leash at all. I do not want them to feel constantly tied up while we are out enjoying fresh air. If your pet enjoys being outside, but is used to also being in a chain link pen at times, then yes I have an optional 20ft x 10ft x 6ft tall pen for day time / alone time if you would prefer some intentionally planned time outside. I 100% am a fan of allowing pets to stay in the house with me. I just ask for openness when asked if your pet is house trained. I have an XL Crate if your furry friend is crate trained for bedtime, and I have a guest bedroom if they just would rather lay on their bed from home and have a safe space to call their own. I am flexible. This is about making your pet feel comfortable. NOTE TO MY CAT OWNER FRIENDS: I will never host a cat and dog in the same house unless they are from the same household. I am also a cat person. I would be tickled to host a cat. They have such "special" personalities. I just normally target the above information to our dog friends, because that is a more common guest. I have basic clay litter, and extra litter boxes, so that you don't have to worry about toting all of that around when we exchange.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10. Friends, family members, and neighbors would rely on me to take care of their fur babies. I’d always make time to play with them and make sure they are comfortable in the environment. I am currently unemployed but looking for a part-time job, which lets me have a lot of time to watch/care for my dogs and make sure they are happy. I’m available any day at the moment and anytime after 3:30. I take my dogs everywhere I go and when they have to go to the bathroom I’ll put them on a leash and go on a walk with them. I also have 3 friendly dogs to keep your dog company and if needed I can easily crate your Dog if needed.

About: I’ve had a pet for as long as I can remember-dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and Guinea pigs. I love them all! I have watched friends/family members pets when needed and am reputable, reliable and check in frequently with updates. I currently work from home and looking for ways to continue to be able to do that yet contribute financially to my household and family. I live in a rural town with just under 10 acres. I do not have a fenced yard at this time, but I am working on that. I do have outdoor kennel areas that can be used if necessary. A lot of room to run and play and also take a nice stroll on a leash.

“Aleah you are a blessing for taking care of Lola.”
